That looks fantastic... Any chance you'd share the file? Thanks in advance.

I'm doing a stretched version of my own Renegade Runner, where'd you get the sails from?

Thank you for your kind words. This was my first time doing rockwork and it was a lot harder than I anticipated... I had the other section (with the totem) ready almost two weeks ago! Thanks! Also, for anyone new to this, this is what a real Cargo Cult is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult I'm posting this as someone on Facebook mentioned that not everyone may know what that is.

Love the cobblestones, are the soldiers boots a real dual mould part or did you paint?

Now you can go watch Air Crash Investigations instead!

30 years after the disappearance of the Black Seas Barracuda, the pirates aboard this fabled vessel were rediscovered, stranded and shipwrecked at an atoll in the distant sea. But what became of these pirates' equally notorious rivals, King Kahuka and his islanders? Somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle, forgotten by civilization, the King and his tribesmen founded a new religion, following a cataclysmic event. This newly established Cargo Cult saw the King discard the totems of his old gods, and he now commanded his followers to embrace a new faith. After many laborious months, this Shrine was constructed, overlooking a once natural ravine. This holy place has now acquired deep religious significance for Kahuka and his tribe...

IMG_20200524_130126_1 by Samarth Moray, on Flickr ------------------- The idea for this MOC came from wanting to use the parts from the supposedly rare Emirates airplane promotional set in a MOC. I am fond of how it thematically mirrors the Pirates of Barracuda Bay; while that set is pirates, this one is Islanders, and that set represents a wrecked ship while this MOC involves a wrecked plane. Hope you all like it and please comment if you do!

I love the detailing, and the rocky outcrop is reminiscent of the old raised baseplate!

My sincerest thanks to everyone who commented!

Probably a good idea :) Haha yes, but I figured the original Black Seas Barracuda had similar windows so I just went with it. I tried to avoid the 'town' feel by ditching the brown doors, however and just kept the door frames.

Thanks! I was beginning to wonder why no one had commented yet and that maybe I posted it in the wrong group. Today happens to be my birthday too so that's icing on my cake.

Hi all, this MOC is made using exclusively parts available in 21310 - Old Fishing Store. I was pretty sure there were more than enough parts to build a full scale ship (or at least comparable to official LEGO pirate ship set scale). I'd also wanted to see what sand green may look like as 'murky bay water', so this is the result. Hope you all like it.
